Coterra donation supports new critical care transport vehicle for Geisinger’s Northeast region
DANVILLE, Pa. – Geisinger Health Foundation has secured funding for a new Critical Care Ground Transport (CCGT) vehicle to support patients across Geisinger’s Northeast region, thanks to a generous contribution from Coterra through Pennsylvania’s Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP) administered by the Department of Community and Economic Development.
The specialized vehicle will expand Geisinger’s ability to safely transport critically ill and injured patients between hospitals and care facilities while providing advanced, intensive care capabilities during transport. Designed as a mobile critical care unit, the CCGT vehicle allows specially trained teams to deliver the same high level of care patients would receive in an intensive care setting while en route to the most appropriate facility for treatment.
Funding for the vehicle was made possible through the Neighborhood Assistance Program, a state tax credit initiative that encourages businesses to invest in projects that improve the health and well-being of communities across Pennsylvania. Through the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development’s Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP), Special Program Priorities (SPP), and Coterra’s generous support, this important investment into Geisinger’s critical care transport fleet was possible.
“This investment strengthens our ability to deliver lifesaving care when patients need it most,” said a Nancy Lawton-Kluck, Geisinger chief philanthropy office . “The new Critical Care Ground Transport vehicle will help ensure that patients throughout our Northeast region have timely access to the advanced care and specialized services available across the Geisinger system. We are incredibly grateful to Coterra and the Neighborhood Assistance Program for their partnership and commitment to the communities we serve.”
Coterra’s support through the Neighborhood Assistance Program reflects a shared commitment to improving access to high-quality healthcare throughout the region. By investing in projects like this, the company is helping ensure that patients across Northeast Pennsylvania can receive the specialized care they need, when and where they need it.
The addition of the new Critical Care Ground Transport vehicle further enhances Geisinger’s ability to provide coordinated, high-acuity care across its network of hospitals and facilities, ensuring patients receive the right level of care as quickly and safely as possible.
